City in meltdown

[singingiiiffy]

SOD tonight blaming the city fans for the hoofball on show. Trying to play football out the back and fans getting impatient.

"He stands there with his arms crossed looking into space. He never really points and shouts to the players on the pitch."

Even a relegation thread!

You know the football gods will have them winning their first game on Saturday don't you.

Don't really get the Flint hatred. It's not like he'd been here a decade and was Swindon through and through.

They're a bigger club and he's probably on more money. If a competitor in my industry offered me more money I'd probably go.

And that header at Brentford was one of the great Town moments. He deserves some kudos for that alone.

I agree

Who cares when we are already 4 up!

City are only 4 points behind us. Bit early to celebrate their demise (or our superiority) me thinks.

Oh, and they aren't really that much bigger than we are. They just have a chairman that is willing to lose 10M a season chasing the dream.

They are. Let's be sensible.

I'm not sure I've spotted any hatred.  Most of the comment has been enjoying Bristol's early season failure to set the division alight and Flint's part in that.  And the fact that they parted with £300k for his services, which is more than most on here would have valued him at.  But hatred?  Hardly.

That will come if he gets that 93rd minute header.

Based on how hot headed he was Clarke and Scunthorpe last season I reckon that after the crowd winds him up he is a good bet for a red card.

There's not so much hatred as people looking forward to giving him some stick.

Compare a normal working environment to football is never going to work really. When did you last have over 7k people paying money to watch you work? Regardless, if you did leave for a competitor I doubt your boss would be welcoming you back like a long lost brother.

I have no doubt he's on more money and don't particularly blame him for his personal reasons for going. However as a Swindon fan, he's left us for a rival in the same league when under contract. I'm sure even Flint realises how football works. I very much doubt he's expecting a standing ovation.

Agree about the Brentford goal mind.

I see their forum really has gone into meltdown with server errors now and inaccessible

Just server overload I imagine as its back up again now and so full of loathing.

[Batch]

They are. Let's be sensible.

I don't class an average attendance of 5K more as massively bigger. If we got to the championship and maintained it for a few seasons, or if City get stuck in league 1 for a few seasons I'd expect that difference to be 2 or 3K tops.

They certainly haven't made the jump in size that say Reading have. If they get a new stadium maybe that will change but I stand by my statement they are not massively bigger.

But it doesn't really matter. As long as we dick them.

That 93rd minute header though Ardiles will be in the wrong end for flint.. Hope he brings dirty kit, as we will do him a favour by taking him to the cleaners

[Tails]

I find it a little bit unnerving that they haven't won, as we're normally crap against teams on that sort of form.

They've got a good squad and a good manager so them picking up at some point is inevitable and I get this horrible feeling it will start against us. Although I do think if we play like we did against Wolves, with their frailties at the back, we should pick up 3 points.

The crowd need to get on Flints back from the off, we all know hot headed he gets. Also the fact we have three technically superb players pulling the strings will work against Flint, as he is only really ever fully useful in the air. I would not be surprised if he gets sent off.... But then having said that, I wouldnt be surprised if he scored either!
